I offer a wonderful recipe for apple cheesecake. Delicious dough, tender juicy, fragrant apple filling with lemon zest and cinnamon. Do not spare time and effort, prepare these cheesecakes, please yourself and your loved ones.
Crumble the yeast into the water and pour 1 tsp of sugar from the total volume – mix and set aside for 15 minutes, until a “cap” is formed.
In a cup for kneading dough, put cream cheese, yogurt, add egg, egg white, add salt and the rest of the sugar, mix. Add the “revived” yeast and mix again.
Add half of the flour and mix. Add the soft butter and stir.
Gradually adding the rest of the flour and pouring parts of vegetable oil, knead a soft dough that will not stick to the hands and walls of the cup. Tighten the cup with the dough with a film and put it in a warm place for 1 hour (the dough should increase in volume by 2 times).
Preparing the filling. Put butter, apples (peel and seeds, cut into cubes), lemon zest, sugar and cinnamon in a frying pan. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Then add the starch, stir, remove from heat and cool.
Prepare the streusel. In a cup, mix flour, sugar and vanilla sugar. Add the butter and rub with your hands (I work with a fork) until crumbs form. Put it in the refrigerator.
Divide the dough into 10 pieces of 76.5 g, round them off and leave them alone for 10 minutes under the film, then roll the dough into a flat cake and put it on a baking sheet covered with baking paper at a distance from each other, cover with a film and leave for 15 minutes to stand up.
Make depressions in the cakes with the bottom of the glass (previously, the bottom of the glass should be dipped in flour), then you can increase the area of the depressions with your fingers.
Put the filling in the recess. Brush the sides of the cheesecakes with a yolk-cream mixture, and then sprinkle with streusel.
Bake the cheesecakes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius on average for about 15-20 minutes, until golden brown (watch your oven).
Prepare the sauce. Mix powdered sugar with water (add parts of water), mix (it should not be a very liquid mass).
Cool the cheesecakes until warm, then sprinkle with a teaspoon of powdered sugar. As a decoration, I used crushed pistachios.
